On page 2 of his report, Phil makes an ominous warning, “Under the leadership of these 4 senior managers at AGL Torrens, it will not be surprising if someone gets killed in a preventable incident that would not occur under a professional management team.”

He expresses three major concerns in which he goes into great detail: dysfunctional safety management, essential infrastructure failure and what he terms as “long term high level subversion binding irrational negligence.”

His detailed report reveals that a 2012 explosion in one of the Torrens Island transformer rooms was preventable. The cause of which was a leaking roof identified 5 years before and which electricians recommended the maintenance department fix immediately. The explosion had a domino effect which resulted in significant plant damage and production loss. He says the financial loss for that year was $40 million, the roof fix, about $100 k.

This incident amongst many others including a hazardous asbestos ceiling, which in his opinion is a waiting disaster, fortifies Phil’s determination to ensure these issues are looked into appropriately.

“I have the impression there are many potential disasters waiting to happen at AGL Torrens because irresponsible budget targets eclipse important maintenance expenditure. The non-compliance of hundreds of safety valves on a site that produces huge quantities of super heated high pressure steam is a major concern. Safety valve failures can cause large dangerous explosions,” Phil warns.

With 8 high risk licenses and 20 years of experience, many of which were spent working 12 hour shifts on 13 day fortnights in a wide variety of environments, Phil is no stranger to the industry.

Through the 90’s, he worked approximately 6 years with WA company, United Construction whom he says is a “very successful company that has grown exponentially in 2 decades from 500 to 50,000” and “is especially committed to safety and is very professional in their continuous improvement programs and staff training.”

He also had some valuable experience working with Transfield Engineering based at Moomba.

Since 1999, Phil has been nominated and voted in by the workforce on numerous construction and maintenance jobs to be a workplace safety representative. He says that working at Torrens Island Power Station “was an experience of workplace culture shock”.

Phil has gone through his chain of command and raised these issues repeatedly with his superiors and the AGL management and each time has been suppressed and bullied into silence by the AGL legal team resulting in his subsequent unlawful termination in November 2013 after 34 months of employment (27 of which were filled with harassment and the last 6 pushed him to the limits).

This repeated bullying and harassment has taken a serious toll on his health both physically and mentally citing high levels of stress, fatigue, lack of stamina and adrenal deficiency (sometimes referred to as adrenal fatigue).

“Digestion frequently failed and severe stress headaches were becoming a regular occurrence in late 2013. On one occasion a community nurse at Salisbury considered calling an ambulance because I was slurring my speech when at a Chemist complaining of a severe headache – needing to sit down as soon as I got there (prior to this time, I did not have a history of headaches). This and my doctors extensive efforts to assist me are on record. My doctor has written a letter for CentreLink explaining that I have a profound sleep disturbance called late insomnia,” the father of 6 stated.

He has also been warned by his doctor, that he may develop chronic fatigue syndrome and goes into detail about how this situation has affected his ability to provide for his large family.

In order to confirm his information efficiently with professional insight and understanding, Phil says that a truly independent investigation is necessary as the investigation conducted by WorkSafe SA is “completely inadequate.” Phil says that Susan Close (Labor Port Adelaide) and John Rau (Deputy Premier) have used this sham investigation to dismiss the case.

Phil and Shane complain the Australian Worker’s Union (AWU) and Australian Manufacturing Workers Union (AMWU) have clearly failed to represent the interests of their members.

He also lays fire on both major political parties asserting “they do not seem to be concerned about the issue of safety negligence, under maintenance and bullying at Torrens.”

A story that aired on 7 News’ Today Tonight in February 2015, revealed the history of corruption, extortion and bribery within the state’s unions is far reaching. Phil says his experience has led him to believe that this web of corruption and blackmail tactics also extends into the state government.

To get the ball rolling with an independent inquiry, Phil says, “I request please that responsible individuals in authority in SA use this document and the large collection of organised documents I have along with Shane’s information to address the very alarming issues that are being raised.”

Given the recent statewide power outage, is this alleged insidious corruption of AGL at Torrens Island just the tip of the iceberg? Let us know by leaving a comment below.

Well, after watching the Wikileaks press conference live, nothing of anything particularly noteworthy happened. No such “October Surprise” was revealed. Needless to say many inside the conservative, pro-Trump side are disappointed, outraged and feel let down by the Wikileaks founder’s 20 minutes of babble about nothing important in particular preceded by a self congratulating pat on the back about the organisation’s being in business for 10 years with a number of infomercials about Assange’s new books thrown in to top it all off.

A very disappointed InfoWars (Alex Jones Show) news team posted on their website “Julian Assange lets the world down with his epic trolling event.”

Personally, I was a little surprised by the train wreck outcome but as I saw some clues that pointed to a “no show” very early on in the press conference, and thus knew what to sort of expect, I was not as devastated or disappointed as other commentators, journalists and reporters in the conservative side were. Nonetheless I think Assange has certainly trolled the world.

Here’s some things I noted down. Firstly, Assange has long threatened to release documents on Clinton and last month repeated his claim that WikiLeaks has damaging information on the Democratic presidential candidate. But he never actually promised to do an “October Surprise” today which is why he failed to make good on that claim. Instead, he simply stated that the forthcoming documents related to Google, military operations, arms trading and mass surveillance would be released every week until the US Presidential Election on 8th October. Now he’s saying they’ll be released before the end of the year. The US presidential election is only 34 days away and this is simply not good enough.

Secondly, the allegations surrounding the notion that Assange was revealing data Wednesday that could be a bombshell to Hillary Clinton and spell the end of her 2016 campaign partly came from blown-out-of-proportion hype by the media sparked by Donald Trump’s adviser Roger Stone who stated in an ominous tweet on Twitter that seemed to indicate that on Wednesday, Hillary Clinton would be done.

Thirdly, I think Assange simply chickened out of revealing anything indicting today due to serious concerns for his security (which was the reason why he cancelled plans to do the “surprise” announcement from the balcony of the Ecuadorian embassy in London).

When asked outright by a journalist in the room if the future publications were likely to spell the end of the Hillary Clinton campaign in the United States, Assange sheepishly admitted “There’s been a lot of misquoting of me and Wikileaks publications.”

He also mockingly stated that if Wikileaks were going to leak a major publication in relation to the United State at a particular hour, they wouldn’t do it at 3 am. Well why say that after contributing, in a large part to this “enormous expectation” created in the US and causing everyone at that hour to wake up just to hear nothing but infomercials and useless waffle?

Up until this point, I was a fan of Assange but I feel, like many others, that he’s basically left everyone with cold soup. I think that’s just shameful.

But as blogger Matt Walsh tweeted, “We don’t need new Wikileaks documents. If you aren’t convinced by now that Hillary is a crook, you’ll never be convinced.” Matt’s certainly right on the money there. However, it would have been very fascinating to know just exactly what this “bombshell” was that could spell “game over” for Hillary.

We don’t need new Wikileaks documents. If you aren’t convinced by now that Hillary is a crook, you’ll never be convinced

Fox News reported Monday that Julian Assange canceled a dramatic London balcony address on Tuesday in favor of a video presentation in Berlin after WikiLeaks developed “specific information” regarding Assange’s safety, the leaked emails clearinghouse tweeted on Monday afternoon.

Some believe the video announcement by the WikiLeaks founder could be an “October surprise” geared towards the U.S. presidential election. Supporters of GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump have said they believe the announcement will be damaging to the candidacy of Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.

Tomorrow’s press conf in Berlin proceeds. London speech by Assange has been moved to Berlin due to specific information. #wikileaks10

Assange, 45, who has lived in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London for five years as officials in Sweden have sought him on criminal charges, is set to address supporters in Berlin via a video link at 3 a.m. ET.

Obviously Hillary sees Assange as a serious threat to the success of her 2016 bid for the US Presidency and has called for Assange to be taken out using a military drone strike in order to silence him.

In an ominous Twitter posting this past weekend, Trump adviser and Republican political consultant Roger Stone said that the information, which he says will be released Wednesday, will somehow end Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

So whatever this never-before-seen information is that Assange is going to reveal, it sounds pretty incriminating and could be the final nail in the coffin for Hillary and may spell serious and immediate disaster for her campaign. It’s about time, as Hillary is an outright liar, thief, and murderer… a criminal whose been on the loose doing her trademark damage and covering it all up in a thick web of lies for far too long.

I will be monitoring this much anticipated revelation closely and will provide an update once the announcement is made in a few hours. Stay tuned!
